Community Recs Post!

[glitteryv]

Every Thursday, we have a community post, just like this one, where you can drop a rec or five in the comments.

This works great if you only have one rec and don't want to make a whole post for it, or if you don't have a DW account, or if you're shy. ;)

(But don't forget: you can deffo make posts of your own seven days a week. ;D!)

So what cool fanvids/fanarts/fics/podfics/fanarts/some other kind of fanwork have we discovered this week? Drop it in the comments below. Anon comment is enabled.

ALSO, gonna take this moment to high-five (or fistbump, if y'all prefer) everyone who:

- has posted a rec here whether once or throughout this year;
- has replied to those recs;
- has lurked (confession time: I was a lurker for literal YEARS, so I get why some folks might be shy, etc.) but otherwise enjoyed being a member of this community.

It's super neat to have a space such as this one where we can squee abt our different fandoms. Again, thanks to all of y'all. Have a happy and healthy 2023! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

FANART

* seokjin, king of the tunas 🐟✨ by devout_jinnist - Too cute!


* 🐰🐥🌙💜 by 5813_99 - Sunset smochin'. I love the detail of Jimin wearing one of the outfits he wore in his folio.


* cozy character study of 🐻🐱 in the morning by AltieDraws - Slapping an NSFW-ish nudge here cuz Taehyung's in his undies and Yoongi might only be wearing the bedsheet (IJS!). ANYWAYS, what a sweet fanart. Check out the detail of the black kitty next to Yoongi too. Awwwww!


* « 𝑨𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒏𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒔 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈 » by _kimori__ - I really like this fanart of Jimin and his snake friends. The whole vibe is v. fantasy in a way that entices the eyes.

ETA: It's already Dec. 30th in Seoul. And so now I'm adding a handful of cute Taehyung-centric fanarts to celebrate his birthday. :DDDDD

*🎄🎁🎶 by tAkichAn_77 - Ultra-sweet fanart of Taehyung and Yeontan from his recent video in which he did a cover of "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas".

* Veautiful Taehyung Day~🌻 by hobichuus - A Starry Night-inspired piece that also incorporates one of Taehyung's photos from his folio.

* Happy birthday my veautiful tae! 💜🤎🤍🐯🐻 🎂🎉💞 by BlueSkies_Chin - that folio ALSO led this person to tap into their creative side. This time, it's Taehyung and a happy!Yeontan. Awww!

* Untitled Taehyung fanart - 17 looks from all of 2022. I love the airport one that features a clingy!Jimin, heheh.

* C A P R I C O R N ♑️💚 Taehyung by - Dangerous yet alluring. I love everything abt this digital art.


FICS

* Emeralds on the Pavement by timesuck2000 (Mature, Seokjin/Jungkook, 8.1k) - An interesting and really well-written story in which the author takes a closer look at Seokjin and Jungkook's dynamic (which is mostly playful with a side serving of roughhousing.)

Told from Jungkook's pov, this author does a fantastic job with their individual characterizations while establishing their romance. If you're a fan of this ship, I can't recommend this enough.

Assorted tumblr art recs from me today:
Merlin:
- “The winner takes it all / The loser has to fall...” (hauntingly gorgeous Merthur art)
- Can’t think of a reasonable lie? Can’t rely on your king to make a helpful assumption? Try this tip: be a lil shit (hilarious comic)
- Day 16: “I hate you” “I love you” Simply as that. (cute Merthur comic)
- They took us off NETFLIX, Merlin (adorable doodle)
- Very quick drawing to celebrate and mourn (for the 10th anniversary, how it should have ended)
MDZS/The Untamed:
- Love can grow even in the most impossible places (Absolutely adorable WWX & A-Yuan piece)
- Poor Lan Zhan stood no chance (the utter longing on his face here, wow)
- holding on to what little remains of wei wuxian (heartbreaking and lovely LWJ and A-Yuan work)
- Posting my old shitposts and art on Tumblr (hilarious modern AU!NHS and WWX)
Guardian:
- Zhao Yunlan Housekeeping (Hilarious)
- One Bed (ZYL, Shen Wei and Da Qing, absolutely adorable)

MP100
.Shimazaki/Teru by kmk_kak; I love the colors of this, and I love stuff with Shimazaki picking Teru up like this, haha. <3

.Sudden confession, Mob/Reigen by Snowdriftooo; this is so cute! I love the colors and their expressions. <3

SxF
.Anya/Damian by m_nmy01; this is so cute! I love how Anya has to stand on her toes and Damian leans down, they're very sweet! Twilight in the background dropping the groceries with Bond trying to tug him away is super fun too, haha. <3

Pkmn

Two long reads:

An interesting retake on the Merlin series, episode by episode, with the entirely different starting point that Merlin is Leon's adoptive brother: For Want of a Nail by
0hHeyThereBigBadWolf https://archiveofourown.org/works/19426954

Also Voice of Reason by grey_sw offers a different and more hopeful ending to Battlestar Galactica https://archiveofourown.org/works/27166

[glitteryv]

Hooray for longer reads! And, oooh, I might have to read the BSG one. Thanks for reccing these fics. :D!

[allekha]

A couple of fic recs that both have great character voices:
Summoning, a hopeful Bartimaeus Sequence fix-it alternate ending. (G, no warnings, 1.5k)

let's not make this harder than it has to be, hilarious Gekkan Shoujo Nokazi-kun get-together for Nozaki and Sakura. (G, no warnings, 5k)

[glitteryv]

Really good fic recs are really good fic reads. :D!

[doranwen]

You get two Leverage recs this time! New Year's bonus, maybe:

Five Holidays by Raine_Wynd (4282 words)
A delightful compilation of Sophie experiencing holidays. Some Nate/Sophie but mostly just nice team feels.

mountain and sea (as it may be) by Synapse (2326 words)
Lovely fic of Nate observing Parker and Eliot. Can be read Parker/Eliot but also as platonic.

[glitteryv]

What a cool New Year's bonus, heheh! Thankies for these recs. :D!

[firedjinn]

A Solstice Carol by Giriaana (42k, complete) - A full-plot homage to A Christmas Carol, featuring a very well-written post-OOT AU Ganondorf as Scrooge, with some subtle/background Zelgan. The fic got posted all in one go, which I think is part of why it hasn't gotten much attention, but it's really, really good.

[glitteryv]

Oh, wow, thanks for the cool rec. :D!
